finding a nanny-in the san Fransico Bay area,
By A Customer
This review is from: Finding a Nanny for Your Child in the San Francisco Bay Area: A Step-By-Step Workbook with Local Resources in the 8 Bay Area Counties (Paperback)
This book is a simple straightforward guide to all those who find themselves in the midst of a search for a nanny and ponder as to how to go about this extremely important task. After all, it is our precious children we are talking about here. Ms. Desrosier's no nonsense approach and easy to read, logical style and book construction, make for a very smooth and easy reading. While the title may lead one to believe that the books relevancy is limited to a certain geographic area, 90% of the contents have universal value to parents all over the United states as it deals with issues related to making generic choices as to the style of parenting one wishes to persue, establishing the guidelines to the future caregiver and dealing with legal and safety issues. I would urge the author and the publisher to try and expand the scope of this excellent book beyond the San Francisco Bay area, as it could be very meaningful to couples all over the nation

This review is from: Finding a Nanny for Your Child in the San Francisco Bay Area: A Step-By-Step Workbook with Local Resources in the 8 Bay Area Counties (Paperback)
Fantastic book. I was very nervous about the process of finding a nanny, as I don't have experience in this area. This book is very practical and well organized. Gives great examples of questions to ask the nanny, their references, etc. I actually bought another book and never even opened it b/c this one was all I needed. Also to note-- I do live in the Bay Area, but the overwhelming majority of this book applies for anywhere in the country. I felt much more confident during my search process, and now have a wonderful nanny!

This book (as well as the author) are lifesavers.The author guides the new parent through the mysterious and often turbulent waters of the nanny world. STRONGLY RECOMMENDED!
